Nah, probably not (second guessing LP's retort ahead of time... )

BTW, I agree, I am so "ghetto"...

But, it's fun while it lasts...

I started ghetto - it's the only way to go!

In fact, in all but the absolute most top-end gauges, a protractor is used to measure loft.

The key is to ensure you've got the shaft going straight up and down, and that the face (irons) is square (unless, for some strange reason, you've got closed or open irons). Then you simply lay the protractor on the ground and the face. Read the angle - that's your loft.

So yes, you can do it yourself.

Enjoy!
